Hi crag
My name is phil and I live in Paris France
Im not sure if you remember me but around about a fortnight ago you tried
to help me set up my matrox g450
with linux mandrake.
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...?threadid=1853
i couldnt set up the matrox card and i decided to wait for
RH 7.1 .
we allso chatted on icq <my No 61452438> for a while and you were a great great help .
Well I just wanted to let you know that I downloaded the 2 ISO red hat ver 7.1 files <seawolf i386 disc1 and 2>
from the red hat site ( about 20 hrs for both)
I burned my cd's fired up the pc and there I was all set to go .It was a great install
< i even repeated it twice to do the complete instal .>
I was happy as a kid during the instalation process as I had both screens running, but soon as I
loaded KDE it went away :-(
LoL I really dont care for now though
I am concentrating on getting familiar with my new OS,
the directories, where all the things are etc etc .
I dont want to start asking you questions as its a real big shopping list <<and all the
information is on the web and in these forums >>
BUT
i will have to set up my priorities and proceed down the list .Its a bit like when i
discovered win3 and dos5.0 but this is much much better.
Im set up right now with red hat 7.1 on a fresh drive on my main machine in front of
me which is sitting next to my win9x this is my 192.168.0.1 wingate server hooked up to
the cable so I can brows the FAQ's and forums with the winx macine
whilst working real time on
the RH pc.
i can connect to the web with a modem and get my mail using netscape , but as you can imagine i want to connect up to the wingate server PC on my LAN for the faster cable connection.
for this I have yet to be able to configure the LAN with Linux and Win and at present im in a bit off a muddle .
I think I need samba to see the windows files
and TCP/IP for the web connection ..Im checking it out some things work but not all ....
But im afraid I got of to a bad start with seeking help again here on the forum
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...?threadid=2319
could you advise me the best way to get help some people get a lot of response and some things just get ignored ..LIKE "HELP ME PLEASE"
:-D
so ill maybe try to cool down a bit and ask less at the time and be more precise... You rekon ??
:-)
I dont want to swamp the server with questions so ill take it easy and read other peoples
problemes allso
ANYWAY a great big thank you and BRAVO Linus Thorvald and all these people who have been working
from the begining on this truely great project. I say its one of the main achievments of modern times and it should be an example of how man should live, based on sharing knowledge and material "no man is an island".
I hope one day that ill be able to contribute
regards and thanks phil
